Parsley for trees
I'm trying to model South African Eucalyptus trees on my layout and can't find suitable material. A large sprig of parsley looks about right and a bit of paint can deal with colour. But I've not been able to find a way to dry a sprig of parsley without its losing its shape. Has anybody else tried this and what was the result?
